You can go to Amazon.com or other booksellers to order this book. This is not an advertsement. Just a suggestion.

I just happened upon this book while doing some research. This is the perfect gift for your friend or associate who is an urban flaneur. For some interesting reading about Paris and a literary interpretation go to the article by Joshua Parker that was published in Urbana:
